AutoCAD Inventor :: How To Copy A Folder With Assembly And Parts
Jun 23, 2011I often want to copy a design (assembly plus used parts) to some other folder as a quick start for some derived work. I want to be able to work on this copy without influencing the original and visa versa.
The problem is when copying with the windows copy command, the references to the parts point to the original folder. I read that you can use the Copy feature of the Vault for this. But I'm not using the Vault and don't want to.
Pack and Go is also not a good solution because it copies a lot of other stuff and makes a new project file. How can I do this. It seems so a simple operation. But I can not figure out how to do that!
AutoCAD Inventor :: Assembly Relationship Folder
Jul 17, 2013Every time i open the view rapp folder the relationship folder will open too. If i will close the relationship folder...and open again the view rapp then it repeats.
The problem is that my assemblies has many parts an a lots of constraints...so my browser is quickly full of constraints visually. I use a lots the view rapp...so there is away to maintain the relationship folder closed ...or open only when i will click on it?

AutoCAD Inventor :: If Statement Between Part And Assembly Document
Oct 11, 2011I'm trying to write my first VBA program for Inventor with very little programming experience. I would like to create a userform which displays the materials list within a combobox.
The problem I have is that I would like the userform to remain open no matter which type of file is active. I would like the combobox to display the material list and current material when in a Part file and display N/A when in Assembly file.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Create New FeatureBasedPattern Within Assembly Document
Dec 6, 2013if there is any way to create a new 'FeatureBasedPattern' within an assembly document. I have 2 assembly occurences - parts. In the Part1 i created a RectangularPattern of workpoints. The Part2 is going to be used in the new pattern. I tried the following VBA code, but it doesn't work.
Dim oPart1 As ComponentOccurrence
Set oPart1 = oAssDef.Occurences.Item(1)
Dim oPart2 As ComponentOccurrence
Set oPart2 = oAssDef.Occurences.Item(2)
Dim oTG As TransientObjects
Set oTG = ThisApplication.TransientObjects
[code]...
The Call function breaks with: "Invalide procedure call or argument". I also tried "Set oAssemblyPattern = oAssDef.OccurencePatterns.etc...." instead of Call function, but with the same result. Same error for declaration change of "oAssemblyPattern" to "FeatureBasedOccurrencePatternProxy".
AutoCAD Inventor :: Convert Assembly Into Text Document
Dec 5, 2011I've tried opening an Inventor Assembly file (.iam) with Microsoft Word, Notepad, and Wordpad but there is a big problem with text conversion. When I open them I get radical characters that makes it impossible for me to make sense out of.
My hope was to open an assembly file as a text document and modify it to get a different result when opening the model (i.e.- moving a part from one position to another in the assembly by modifying text). Sort of like when I modify a post processor in MasterCAM to produce a different program with if/then statements or changing text. Ultimately I want to create an assembly model that reflects our inventory as sort of a "virtual warehouse" where a quick look at the model would let you know where you have space to move and store new inventory.
I think being able to modify inventory locations by modifying text and letting the model update would be faster and easier than someone modifying the model at the end of each day with Inventor.
Is there any type of text conversion software that could take an Inventor assembly file and convert it into readable text?

AutoCAD Inventor :: Proper Way To Copy A Project To New Folder?
May 14, 2013What is the proper way to copy a project to a new folder and the projects not be linked in any way to each other. In other words I want to have a completely independent project that I can make minor changes to without it affecting the original project in any way because no matter what copy method or pack-n-go I have tried, the link is still there from the new project to the original. How do i break that link.

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy Frame Generator Assembly

AutoCAD Inventor :: Copy A Ilogic Assembly Without Suppressed Parts
Feb 13, 2012I have a iLogic assembly with some parts and sub assembly. I need to do a copy of this " Generator " to apply the result later in other assemblies. (something like a member of a ipart or i assembly).
Is there any way to do the copy the assembly to a new folder without the suppressed parts and subassemblies (wich are suppressed in the initial main assembly by iLogic rules)?
I tried to use "Pack and go" and "iLogic design copy", but they always bring the suppressed parts and assembly's, to the new folder and which i don't need to apply in the other assemblies.

View 2 Replies View RelatedAutoCAD Inventor :: ILogic Assembly Has Double User Request At Inserting In Assembly
Sep 18, 2012We have an iLogic assembly with to parts in it. Maybe to cylindrical parts. The iLogic rules should do the following.
1. Start a Rule after open document.
2. This Rule starts a Rule in the first cylindrical component.
3. This Rule ask the user for a diameter.
4. The assembly gives this new parameter value to the second component
5. Then the assembly calls another rule in the second component to change it with the new parameter
Everything is working fine when the following combinations are taking place:
1. I open up the assembly out of vault or from a local drive or an accessible server drive
2. I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly from a local drive or an accessible server drive
It don't work with the following situation:
- I insert the assembly as sub assembly in another assembly out of vault
Then the user becomes the dialog "Choose a diameter" twice.
I don't know why, but I have the idea it has something to do with the functionality of inventor to insert a component more than once. If you insert a component in an assembly Inventor gives you the opportunity to add more than one occurence after each other.
change that behaviour? Maybe a switch to change that inventor "add more than one occurence" behaviour.
AutoCAD Inventor :: Tube And Pipe Assembly Styles Don't Translate Into Other Assembly Files

As you can see, I have a rack assembly with a custom tube and pipe style. A wire as a tube in orange, and a tube support in white. Both have their seperate colorations at a style in the tube and pipe styles editor
When placing the rack assembly into the main assembly, it reverts to the coppor coloration I changed from the original style.
Steps I've taken:
Exported the styles .xml and Imported the styles into the master tubeandpipe.iam
Imported the user created .xml styles into the main assembly file nothing seems to work
AutoCAD Inventor :: Find Interior Volume Of Assembly By Subtracting Assembly From Block
Apr 23, 2012I am trying to find the interior volume of an assembly (when am I not?!?!) by subtracting the assembly from a block that surrounds the most of it. Somewhere the assembly has a "leak" and I have been trying to use the Cross Section Analysis to track down where the inside lump is connected to the outside lump to be subtracted. Is there a less time consuming way to dynamically drag a plane across and get cross sectional views?
Even better is there a simple way to animate the analysis plane moving across the block so I can hopefully just watch and pause it when I find a leak?
